Significance of Kannawidan Festival in every Ilocanos

 

                Festivals are an expressive way to commemorate and celebrate our great past, history, and customs in a fun and engaging way. They are intended to be shared with our loved ones in order to celebrate key events and feelings in our life. They serve an important role in providing structure to our personal interaction, as well as connecting us with our families and traditional culture, among other things. They provide a welcome respite from the monotony of our day-to-day lives and provide us with some motivation to recall the key things and times in our lives that have passed. 

               The celebration places more emphasis on the Ilocano children. It is due to the fact that Ilocano culture is not acknowledged by the province's younger generations. Instead, there is a greater emphasis on current dances. Children from the Ilocano region may learn to respect their rich culture and customs. It is for this reason that this Festival is being held. Every year, a variety of events are held that are geared at showcasing the abilities and skills of the pupils, including traditional tribe rites, choral performances, and traditional and folk dances.

               Kannawidan Ylocos Festival promotes the learning of indigenous songs and dances from the province of Ilocos Sur by the younger generations via a variety of activities. This celebration is highly important to every person of the province since it honors the founding of the province of Ilocos Sur, which is a historical event. The Ilocanos' eyes were awakened as a result of this event to the culture and customs that their forefathers and foremothers had brought them from the past. It's also their way of honoring the Ilocano spirit, which continues to motivate residents to contribute to the development of their home province
